(1) Background: Neuromonitoring is essential in corrective surgery for scoliosis. Our aim was to assess the feasibility, safety and reliability of "surgeon-directed" intraoperative monitoring transcranial motor evoked potentials (MEP) of patients. (2) Methods: A retrospective single-center study of a cohort of 190 scoliosis surgeries, monitored by NIM ECLIPSE (Medtronic), between 2017 and 2021. Girls (144) and boys (46) (mean age of 15 years) were included. There were 149 idiopathic and 41 secondary scoliosis. The monitoring consisted of stimulating the primary motor cortex to record the MEP with muscular recording on the thenar, vastus lateralis, tibialis anterior and adductor hallucis muscles. (3) Results: The monitoring data was usable in 180 cases (94.7%), with 178 true negatives, no false negatives and one false positive. There was one true positive case. The predictive negative value was 100%. The monitoring data was unusable in 10 cases (i.e., three idiopathic and seven secondary scoliosis). (4) Conclusions: Simplified transcranial MEP monitoring known as "surgeon-directed module" is usable, safety and reliable in surgery for moderate scoliosis. It is feasible in 95% of cases with a negative predictive value of 100%.
